    Reference Gene Selection in Plant Real-time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (qRT-PCR)
    HU Rui-bo, FAN Cheng-ming, FU Yong-fu
       2009, 11 (6): 30-36.  
    Abstract1759)      PDF (623KB)(2651)       Save

    Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) technology, with quantitative accuracy, high sensitivity and high-throughput characteristics, has been widely used in gene expression analysis. Based on the relative quantitative analysis, qRT-PCR data must be normalized with one or more proper and stable internal reference genes. House-keeping genes are customarily used as endogenous references for relative quantification. But not a single gene can act as a universal reference reported so far. Most of the traditional housekeeping genes are unable to ensure accurate normalization in qRT-PCR. Based on the tremendous gene-chip expression data and public deposited EST data, new reference genes with superior stability were selected and verified with qRT-PCR. The research progress of reference genes in plant qRT-PCR was reviewed and aspects to be considered in future reference gene selection were also discussed.

    Abstract1542)      PDF (235KB)(802)       Save

    Since China took part in WTO in November in 2001, the use of cotton increased more than 900 thousand ton per year by the average, the scale of production widened, the total yield enhanced, the price of cotton met the international level with a strong rise and fall, the main product value of cotton and the income of cotton peasanfs both increased for two years and decreased for one year with a big fluctuation range. The importation amount of raw cotton enormously increased with a net import of 2.6 million ton, which made a strong strike on the homemade raw cotton. In the past three years, the total sum of importation of raw cotton, cotton yam and cotton woven fabric were 14,013 million dollars, it was smaller than the total sum of exportation, which was 18,474 million dollars, that means there was a favorable trade balance of 4,234 million dollars. In the chain of cotton industry, there were 4,097 million dollars deficit of raw cotton, 399 million dollars deficit of cotton yarn, and 8,930 million dollars surplus of cotton woven fabric. All these revealed that cotton woven fabric was the most favored one in the chain of cotton industry, cotton yam was the second one, and raw cotton was the least one or the most one suffered from strike. There was nonequilibrium profit in these sub-industries.

    Seed industry is a strategic and basic industry, and clarifying the development path of China’s crop seed industry is very important to enhance the competitiveness of national agriculture. This paper analyzed the development trend of the international crop seed industry, assessed the opportunities and challenges faced by the development of China’s crop seed industry, and proposed the innovative development strategies of China’s crop seed industry in the new era. Our study reckoned that the new round of scientific and technological revolution characterized by “biotechnology and informatization” had promoted the comprehensive upgrading of the crop seed industry, biotechnology productions had become an important growth point for the development of the seed industry, and multinational seed enterprises had accelerated their occupation of the global seed market. Global scientific and technological innovation and China’s economic transformation and development have brought new opportunities for the development of China’s crop seed industry. Currently,China has basically established a scientific and technological innovation system for crop seed, and seed enterprises have continued to grow, but still facing some challenges such as insufficient original innovation in key science and technology, imperfect seed industry innovation system. Our study suggested that China’s crop seed industry should further strengthen the effective cohesion in the innovation chain and build a deep integration system of production, education and research in the new era, and consolidate the original foundation of seed science and technology, produce high-value intellectual property rights such as key technologies and elite new varieties, as well as cultivate innovative enterprises, improve policy mechanisms and business environment, and promote the high-quality development of the crop seed industry.

    Abstract1476)      PDF (466KB)(1009)       Save

    There are 29 AHL proteins (AT-hook motif nuclear localized proteins) in Arabidopsis, but the functions of their mojorities remain unknown. The AHL27 protein, reported in this study, contains an AT-hook motif and a PPC domain. The analysis of mRNA expression in different tissue organs and GUS histochemical staining showed that AHL27 was mainly expressed in roots and flowers. The sub-cellular localization of GFP-AHL27 indicated that AHL27 was a nuclear protein. AHL27 over-expression could inhibit the expression of flowering gene FT and promote the FLC expression, therefore, delay the Arabidopsis flowering time both under long daylight and short daylight conditions. Our data suggested that AHL27 could play a very important role in Arabidopsis growth and development.

    mrs2 (mitochondrial RNA splicing 2) genes were discovered as a suppressor of splicing defects in mitochondria. They have been shown to be a transporter for the movement of Mg^2+ in plants. This study collected the mrs2 genes that were isolated in plants and obtained their MRS2 domains. We identifieed the mrs2 genes in Arabidopsis and rice. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the Mrs2 proteins. Analyses of the conserved sequences of these pro- teins were conducted; and finally the expression information of these genes was searched. The results are as follows: ( 1 ) The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the feature of this family might have been in existence before the split of Arabidopsis and rice, and species-specific expansion might have contributed to this family after the split of Arabidopsis and rice. (2) MEME analysis indicated that the motifs in the Mrs2 protein were higghly conservative, and the order of these motifs in the proteins was quite similar. ( 3 ) The expressions of the mrs2 genes in Arabidopsis and rice weere different, but still keep consistency in some expressions.

    Fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2), which is widely present in plants, can transform oleic acid to linoleic acid in plants.  Designing primers based on GenBank BnFAD2 sequence, using Brassica napus leaf total DNA as template, we obtained 1.4 kb fragment by TAIL-PCR. Sequence analysis indicated that the fragment was upstream sequence of BnFAD2. Fragments with different 5′ end lack were inserted, substituting CaMV35S promoter, into pBI221-LUC. Analysis on Brassica napus protoplast transient expression  suggested that the region between -669 bp and -1019 bp of FAD2 upstream sequence was important for FAD2 transcription. Considering the cis regulation elements prediction result of FAD2 upstream sequence, the putative gibberellin -response element, light-response elements and other cis regulation elements contained in FAD2 promoter are important in FAD2 gene expression and regulation.

    With the completion of crop genome sequencing, a large number of genes' functions affecting important agronomic traits of crops are waiting to be discovered. Due to the lack of genetic transformation methods, the research on gene function of most crops is progressing slowly. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology does not rely on genetic transformation. Through virus vector inoculation, efficient silencing of targeted genes can be achieved in contemporary plants. VIGS technology is increasingly used in reverse genetics for analysis of gene functions and metabolic pathways in different crops due to its fast onset time, high silencing efficiency, low operating cost, high-throughput and wide application of plants. This article introduced the technical principles and development process of VIGS, systematically summarized the application of VIGS in different crop research, and then summarized and discussed the limitations of existing VIGS applications and several key factors affecting its silence efficiency, and finally the application in future plant biology research was prospected, which would provide reference for its further application and development.

    In order to carry out further studies on enzymology properties of phytase protein expressed in transgenic corn seeds, we studied the relations between solubility of phytase and total protein and the saturation of ammonium sulfate with crude phytase extracted from transgenic corn seeds as material. The results showed that in the saturation range 0~60% of ammonium sulfate, the precipitated phytase only accounted for 1.85% of the total phytase in initial extraction, while the precipitated protein in the same saturation range accounted for 57% of the total protein in initial extraction. The specific activity of phytase was 0.44 U/mg. In the saturation ranging from 60%~80% of ammonium sulfate, the precipitated phytase and total protein accounted for 58% and 10% of the total in initial extraction, respectively. And the specific activity of phytase was 84.4 U/mg. In the saturation ranging from 80%~100% of ammonium sulfate, the yield of precipitated phytase accounted for 1.9% of the initial extraction. Therefore, the saturation ranging from 60%~80% of ammonium sulfate was set as the optimal condition to precipitate phytase. The specific activity of phytase obtained under this condition was 6.1 times higher than the crude extraction (13.8 U/mg).
